Star Watcher
Mars 21st Sept. 2020
I was lucky with some really good seeing last night. Great detail when observing Mars with a half meter Dobsonian inspired me to 'fire up the Quattro' and have another go at imaging it. Quite pleased with this.
Skywatcher Quattro CF 25cm f4. 5mm eyepiece projection. Imaging Source DFK 21AU camera. 1/35th second exposures at max gain. PiPP, Registax and Affinity Photo to process. 2000 frames reduced to 1600.
The prominent dark monkey wrench shaped feature in the centre is Sinus Sabaeus with Sinus Meridiani at the tip. The subtle paler patch left of centre is Pyrrhae Regio and the large blank area upper right is Moab & Aeria. The row of dots stretching from left to right just below centre is, I believe, Decaulionis Regio.
